Hopefully someone with experience with the shocks in the store can help me. I have an lc that has air bags on it. The system that i have is not a really fast system (i didn't buy it for that) Raises the car in about 1 sec and lowers in 2-3 seconds. Thing is that it uses the shocks and lays in where the spring once was. As you may imagine my shocks are really blown (this happen with the weapon-r coilovers at lowest perch) I want to buy the kyb's but i i called the tech and he feels that there shock wouldn't last. I really don't want to spend the money on them even though i get them at cost threw my work if there going to blow anyways but i like to here what someone with experience thinks. the car can travel from a little higher then stock to 3 inchs from the ground to you think the kyb's will stand up to this? or should i just stay with what i have. I'm not concerned with slowing down the motion of my bags at all(once again speed of the bags is not a concern) I just what an adjustable ride hight with a smooth ride( i live in michigan roads get really bumpy at times from all the snow plows during the winter). Someone with these shocks please help!!!!!!! i would rather not just throw away money.
the kyb's will not be worth the money unless you just want shocks that are not blown. try to find someone that can order you a set of koni's or get a different air bag setup.
